  • Private registration 'Y13 PRA' included in the sale

The Appeal

The advent of the Continental GT in 2003 signalled a complete change in direction for Bentley. It was less than half the price of the outgoing Continental R, because while it remained hand-assembled, the bodywork was not coachbuilt. Moreover, the GT introduced a remarkable new engine - a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 producing 552 bhp, while the all-new design language was nothing short of beautiful.

This 2005 example has covered just 90,987 miles and is in very good condition for its age. The vendor acquired it a year ago to tick off an item on their retirement bucket list. Having scratched that itch, throughly enjoying their tine with the car, the Bentley is now in search of a new custodian. it remains a highly original example, the only modification being a set of gloss black alloy wheels.

Complete with a year's advisory-free MOT, this Bentley is ready to enjoy.
